Chapter 728
Patricia looked at Ellinor, who had just hung up the phone, and flashed her trademark ‘innocent‘ grin.
“Ms. Mendoza, you seem pretty busy, huh? Was that a guy on the phone?”
Ellinor put her phone away, nonchalantly grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa, and replied, “Yeah, it was a dude”
Patricia had a hint of sarcasm in her innocent eyes, “Does Mr Blanchet know you’re still in touch with other guys?”
Ellinor let out a yawn, “He probably has no clue”
Patricia looked a bit peeved, “Mr. Blanchet doesn’t know? That could be a problem. You’re inviting other men over when he’s not around. If word gets out, there might be some unnecessary chatter”
Ellinor tumed to look at Patricia, raising an eyebrow, “Ms. Howard, are you threatening to tell him?”
Patricia feigned innocence and furrowed her brow, “No way, I’m not threatening you, just giving you a friendly heads up!”
Ellinor gave a slight smile. Threat or reminder, I couldn’t care less. If you want to spread the word, go ahead! If you want to tell Mr. Blanchet, you can call him now and let him know I’ve been inviting other men over when he’s not home. Do whatever you want!”
Patricia was a bit disgruntled by Ellinor’s nonchalant attitude, and she silently gritted her teeth.
In reality, Patricia knew that if Ellinor was so open about having men over, there was likely no foul play.
Patricia retorted coldly, “Ms. Mendoza, you’re overthinking. I’m not one for gossiping or telling tales to Mr. Blanchet.
Hah! If she wasn’t that kind of person then who was?
Who knew what schemes Patricia was cooking up?
Ellinor gave Patricia a glance and ignored her.
At that moment, a male servant walked in with a package, “Ellinor, your meal is here.”
Ellinor nodded, “Cool, just put it here.”
The servant left after placing the meal on the coffee table.
Ellinor put down her throw pillow and started to unwrap her food, “Ms. Howard, fancy a bite?”
Patricia offered a fake smile, her eyes showing her disdain for the cheap meal, “No thanks, I’m already full.”
Ellinor looked at her with a smile, her tone casual, “If you’re not eating, then please step back. I don’t like being watched while l eat.”
Patricia’s smile stiffened. “Alright…”
Veronica came over from the dining room, “Patricia, why are you still sitting with Ellinor? You should keep your distance. The cheap meals she orders are made with lousy oil. It’s just disgusting, you might catch something.”
She spoke while trying to pull Patricia away from Ellinor.
As Patricia stood up, she was still holding her glass of milk, and she didn’t forget to hand the leftovers to Ellinor before leaving.
